Winter Office Olympics

On a lighter note...screw the salt and the sand. Real woman should know how to rock a pair of stilettos under any weather condition that should arise. I walked through the parking lot at work this morning, over mountian like formations of ice, slush and black ice. The sand that was down only seemed to add color to the terrain. It is a good 50 feet from where my car was parked to the door. I couldn't help but smirk imagining watching every woman at work that day parking at the same time, and better yet walking at the same time towards the door in their high heels, trying to keep posture and elegance with every step. I expanded on this intrusive ill humored thought and wondered how much funnier it would be if it were made into an "Outdoor Office Olympic" For example, a horn would blow and the first one to the door from their car withought falling, with both shoes on, and withought dropping their purse, lunch ect. would win first place. Second place could include making it to the door only falling once but with both shoes still on. Third place would be won if you fell only twice, but made it to the door with both shoes on and everything still in hand. Forth and Fifth places would include one shoe on ect...then the dreaded barefoot arrival. Just think of all the different ways this could be judged...posture, balance, the list could go on. Even imagine those with a fresh hot coffee in one hand. That could get messy. I myself made it ok after questioning 2 puddles, which one seemed thick enough to hold me without breaking. A nearby construction worker chuckled as he found humor in my questioning of the two puddles, looking back and forth. Thankfully my guess was right. All humor and smiles slowly melted away as I approached the door and remembered that I had an 8 hour work day ahead of me.
